With an ever-changing society, making sure that the skills and competences remain up to date is of great importance. WCC's ELISE can identify the gap people have with the labor market, and give advice on suitable education and training in order to close that gap. Integrating into IBM Outcome Management allows people to build a plan to close the gap and track progress towards their goal.
